  • Bad Brains To Release “Are You Ready: The First Studio Recording” In November

    Bad Brains will be releasing “Are You Ready: The First Studio Recording” on November 6. The effort features a March 1979 session at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia. That set has been newly mixed by Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi) and it will be available in vinyl, cassette, and digital formats.

    “Are You Ready: The First Studio Recording” Track Listing:

    01. “Pay To Cum“
    02. “Don’t Bother Me“
    03. “Black Dots“
    04. “Migraine“
    05. “Send No Flowers“
    06. “Jamming At The Atlantis“

    Bassist Darryl Jenifer commented:

    “We wanted to make sure a lot of our energy was put into executing our riffs and ideas. There was no overall vision of what we meant as a band or what it would come to mean to the culture. All we knew was we loved a wild version of rock and roll that they called punk.”

    A video for “Pay To Cum” featuring footage Barry Masterson captured during an October 24, 1979 set at CBGB can be found below. Jenifer added the following about that track:

    “The riff for ‘Pay To Cum’ started as a stream of punk rock vibes fueled by the Ramones, the Damned, and Return to Forever. It was a gift that served as a springboard into our sound — sheer, straight-ahead three-chord mayhem with a few breaks and a stop. The title actually meant nothing to us; it was just a fun-loving play on words.”

  • Extinction A.D. Premiere New Song “Escape From L.I.”

    Extinction A.D. have premiered a new song titled “Escape From L.I.” You can check that out below:

    Vocalist/guitarist Rick Jimenez commented:

    “Long Island has become such a cesspool for obnoxious attitudes and disgusting displays of hate and division. I grew up here and was aware of this my whole life but over the past few years it’s gotten even more out of hand. Outside of our bubble of heavy music, it seems more like the norm than the exception. Seeing your home area turn into a vile environment is tough. Standing against it, calling it out and letting your neighbor know that hate isn’t acceptable is important.

    This is the second song I’ve sung in Spanish on. I am still not fluent under any circumstance, but I am learning. Flexing those muscles a bit more on this song, particularly, was gratifying and felt appropriate. Switching between English and Spanish throughout the song and complementing that with some more auxiliary Latin percussion was super cool. A tinge of bomba flare and a bit of reggaeton flare thrown into a thrash metal/hardcore hybrid felt crazy on paper but perfect in practice.”

  • Elder Bassist Jack Donovan Hospitalized With Pneumonia

    Elder bassist Jack Donovan has been hospitalized with pneumonia. As such, he was forced to miss the band’s September 22 show in Portland, OR.

    The group commented:

    “IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING TONIGHT’S PORTLAND SHOW

    Our bassist Jack has fallen seriously ill and has been hospitalized with pneumonia. After struggling the past week with illnesses and continuing to play, his condition took a turn for the much worse suddenly after arrival at Roseland Theater.

    Doctors have advised him that had he not sought medical attention his condition could have become life threatening. He is currently hospitalized overnight.

    We are so grateful that his condition is stable and he is getting treatment. With this extremely last minute development – literal minutes before doors – and with his blessing, we have decided the show must go on.

    Tonight’s concert will doubtless be different but we hope for your understanding.”

  • We Came As Romans Premiere “BORN FROM NOTHING” Video

    We Came As Romans have premiered a new video for their new song “BORN FROM NOTHING.” This track will appear on the band’s “ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY” release, which will be available on November 6.

    We Came As Romans commented:

    “’CIRCULARITY’ isn’t just a deluxe edition with more songs. It’s a bigger version of the album that brings it back to where it started. Each original song was the call, and each collaboration became the response, turning what was a straight line into a loop. We sent these songs out into the world, they connected us with people who have become part of our lives, and they came back to us changed, carrying another voice. The features aren’t guests so much as our circle: the people, places, and influences that were always part of this story, now visible in the tracklist. What you create doesn’t stay yours. It travels, it changes, and it returns different.

    The new songs explore the other side of that circle: what we carry forward, what we have to leave behind, and what it costs to keep repeating the past. ‘BORN FROM NOTHING’ sits at the center of that. It’s about being trapped in the same cycles and realizing that constantly moving isn’t the same as moving forward. Sometimes it’s easier to stay in motion than to be still long enough to face your past, your mistakes, or the ways you’ve stood in your own way. The song captures that moment of surrender, when you stop circling who you used to be and ask for the chance to begin again. To me, ‘CIRCULARITY’ completes the cycle while also starting a new one.”

    “ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY” Track Listing:

    01. “WHEN EVERYTHING IS STILL“
    02. “DEAD SILENT” (feat. Make Them Suffer)
    03. “BORN FROM NOTHING“
    04. “SPEAK TO EXIST“
    05. “ALL IS BEAUTIFUL…“
    06. “bad luck“
    07. “bad luck ○” (feat. Currents & After The Burial)
    08. “lake of fire“
    09. “red smoke“

    14. “culture wound ○” (feat. Ladrones)
    15. “where did you go?“
    16. “where did you go? ○” (feat. Headwreck)

  • Enslaved Premiere “Tales Of Trees” Music Video, Announce Early 2027 European/UK Tour

    Enslaved have premiered a new video for their new song “Tales Of Trees.” This track is from their new album, “Mið,” which will be released on October 30.

    Vocalist/bassist Grutle Kjellson commented:

    “‘Tales Of Trees‘ is indeed tales about trees, but perhaps not first and foremost in a botanical sense. Trees can grow, shine, and flourish, but they can also wither and burn. They need to be tended to and looked after in one way or another, and thus serve as a fitting parallel to the human mind, let alone humanity as a whole.

    Trees as symbols of something more than mere botanical creatures have appeared throughout history, both in mythological tales and in folklore. So, I think this tale is a fitting accompaniment the the heavy and yet dynamic tunes of this composition.”

    Guitarist Ivar Bjørnson added:

    “‘Tales Of Trees‘ can be both a tribute to our wooden relatives on this planet – who have had rather a lot of patience with us; and a metaphor for so much more. The winding time signatures of folk music and the adventurous spirit of classic prog are natural ingredients in my songwriting, and they feel particularly at home here.

    There is something about our kinship with trees that is both deeply familiar and wonderfully strange: everyday encounters with something we barely understand. That sense of recognition and mystery is at the heart of this song, opening another path into the world of ‘Mið.‘”

    In other news, Enslaved have also announced a European/UK tour with Sólstafir and Gaahls Wyrd:
